The status display in the editor window, showing how much has been translated, doesn't register any progress.

Question

Hi, 
 I'm working on a machine translated text and the % of words confirmed stays the same. In the files window, the amount translated remains at 0%. This is not tragic, just a bit annoying - it's so nice to know you're making progress :-) 
 Regards 
 Hilary

Hi all,

As discussed before, the wordcount / percentage values bottom right of the Editor display have always been a tad inaccurate, whether within the document or by comparison to the project statistics. However, since 2015 CU1, I am finding this behaviour is more extreme. Sometimes, as described above, the wordcount / % does not update to show the job as complete. This is happening with xml-based projects. However, as you say Paul, it is inconsistent so hard to define why it's happening. 
 
I decided to open a project where this was happening on a different machine to the one I completed it on, to see if the wordcount properties carry across but I couldn't open the project. Error message 'This project cannot be opened in the Studio Edition you are using. Only project packages or single documents can be opened.' 
 
Obviously creating a new project based on this project works fine and the whole wordcount / 100% is marked as complete. 
 
So not much help there... 
 
All the best from almost sunny Cornwall, 
Ali :)

Hi Hilary, 
 
It is indeed annoying, but the solution for now is relatively simple. If you run a wordcount using a batch task it will probably reset itself. It seems to be a refresh issue.

Hi Adrian, 
 
This is annoying indeed and inconsistent which makes it tricky to resolve. Did you try running any of the other batch tasks to see if this would refresh where the wordcount failed? Perhaps the analysis? It is a workaround I know, but until the problem gets resolved it might help.

Hi Hilary, 
I had a similar problem and managed to fix it using a small trick. Maybe it works for others as well: 
Actually I had two problems, one with the Editor view not showing the correct status and one with the status in the Files view. 
As far as the Editor view is concerned, I'm not 100% what helped, but it's some combination of Word count+reopening Trados and maybe something else. Anyway, after I restored the Editor to 100%, the Files view still claimed my text was completed in 98%! Funny... 
With the Files view I tried several batch tasks (though I haven't tried Analysis to be honest) without success. But then I figured, since it's a refresh issue, as Paul said, then maybe if I make a minor change to any of the previously confirmed segments and then confirm it again, Trados will snap to normal. It worked, now the Editor and the Files view are 100%.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio

The status display in the editor window, showing how much has been translated, doesn't register any progress.
